A WONDERFUL KINGDOM

In the mountains of Portugal, amidst the stunning, timeless vineyards of the Douro Valley lies the heart and soul of Old World winemaking. Once a year a divine ritual begins, the harvesting of the season's grapes by the generations-old families who pick, carry and stomp their way through September with blood-red feet, stained by grape juice. Celebrating tradition over mythology, “A Wonderful Kingdom” is an homage to these hard-working folks - they are the lifeblood that flows through the rocks of the region. Set to the prose of iconic poet Miguel Torga with an English-version narrated by iconic British actor Malcolm McDowell,  this hypnotic, observational documentary unfurls across the epic beauty and austerity of both nature and humanity.
